* GHC 7.10 will embody Plan FTP.
* The Core Libraries committee, freshly energised and informed by this episode, is drafting new guidelines to clarify what it does, and how it works; and to help avoid a repetition of the recent drama.
This wasn't an entirely easy process, especially because it happened so late in the release cycle. But although many people felt quite strongly about List vs FTP, the whole debate has involved light rather than heat; people have concentrated on the technical issues, rather than yelling. Overall, it's been very encouraging to see the resilience, transparency, and constructive tone of the community. We really appreciate that - thank you.
